Albergo Firenze

As central as it gets and in one of the city's smartest streets. There are plenty of tourist amenities around this mid-sized albergo which pleases middle-market travellers who prefer a well located base with the minimum of communal facilities at 3-star prices.

Exterior

A smart looking flat-fronted building with shops occupying the ground-floor level. Entry is along a narrow passage to a rear courtyard with a canopied doorway in one corner. Three tiny balconettes add a little character to the property's frontage.
